NFL Notes: Bengals, Browns, Cardinals, Eagles, Giants & Lions

Bengals

HC Marvin Lewis told reporters that he would like to draft a return specialist that can double as a wide receiver.

“That’s an area we would always like to fill,” Lewis said, via Coley Harvey. “Darren [Simmons] ends up sometimes being a little frustrated about that because we don’t quite end up getting that filled as well as we maybe could.”

Browns

According to Tony Pauline of DraftInsider.net, people familiar with the situation have compared the present situation in Cleveland to the one that played out in San Francisco the past three years.

Pauline reports that there’s “a lot of dissension” in the Browns’ front office with people not working well together nor are they fond of one another.

Cardinals

The extensions provided to GM Steve Keim and HC Bruce Arians puts Keim in the top 10 of the highest paid general managers, and places Arians behind Philadelphia’s Chip Kelly as the highest paid head coach without a Super Bowl. (Ian Rapoport)
